2 broken fingers, no surgery required. Thumb and index finger. Likely back into play for the 53 roster because if they placed him on IR now he would not be eligible to return later in the season.

You can now bring back two players from IR after 8 weeks of being on IR.

Who is going to grab a QB with broken fingers and use a 53 man roster spot on them?

I don't think teams want to grab an opposing player, cut someone, then bring them back and IR them.

I think he will stay on our roster. I also think there is some type of unwritten rules team follow not grabbing up injured guys who can't pass a physical.

No problem; I only learned this last week, myself; maybe I already knew it, but it slipped my mind!

Oh no, Luvnit; if we want to use IR-Recall, we need to place the guy on our 53 first, THEN we can IR him.

It's his thumb and index finger.
